Teri Blackbourn, born on 8 April 1994, is a New Zealand international lawn bowler who competes in para bowls. She took part in the inaugural Para women pairs event at the 2023 World Bowls Championship, where she won the gold medal with her teammate Julie O'Connell. At the 2026 Commonwealth Games, in the women's pairs for bowlers in the B6 to B8 classes, Blackbourn and O'Connell won the silver medal. Lawn bowls is a precision sport in which players roll weighted bowls toward a small target ball, and both of the results described here were achieved in partnership with O'Connell in pairs events, one at world level and one at the Commonwealth Games.
